JPN-Kashima_ammonia — Japan
Chemical Plant in Japan. Approximate location 36.04027, 140.68837.
Chemical PlantJapanCO₂ estimate (modelled)
JPN-Kashima_ammonia is a chemical plant in Japan. Its listed capacity is 26,280 t of chemical. Chemical plants produce a wide range of industrial and specialty chemicals, many requiring precise temperature control and sustained heat input for reactions and separations. By capacity it ranks #7 among 8 chemical plants in Japan. It emits about 38,822 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.02% of the CO₂e from the 105 facilities in Japan that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-33998932.

Local climate
JPN-Kashima_ammonia sits in a humid subtropical climate zone (Köppen Cfa), at 36.0°N in the northern hemisphere.
Köppen zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid).
Site climate & environmental severity
This site sits in a corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C4 — High), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1352 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.04× the loss at a 20 °C reference. Reference-surface calculation at a 150 °C surface from WorldClim climate normals (ASTM C680 / ISO 12241) — an indicative per-climate comparison, not a measurement of this site’s specific equipment.

Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.
